The shop manual should have wiring diagrams. You can get repro shop manuals from a variety of sources, including Kanter and eBay.

I believe your car is negative ground like my '41.

Hope this helps. Glad to have you aboard.

Thanks all! Just wanted to make sure since our 48 ford deluxe is positive ground 6-volt system. Fingers crossed...Bill in Illinois.

I have two 1939 Buicks: Model 41: 4-Dr Touring Sedan Special
Model 41C; 4-Dr Sport Phaeton Special S(Convertible).

I have just rebuilt the motor on the Model 41 Sp. I still need to restore the interior (get a radio, temp gauge, upholstery.
the Model 39-41C is another matter. I took delivery of this car in the midst of a frame-up restoration that began over 28 years ago that came to a grinding halt in the same year. Parts needed: the dash, gauges, speedometer, glove box, both the front and rear seats, half of the frame of the convertible top.

Will attend the Hershey show. Staying at the Hershey Lodge. Best to all. Larry Martin
